MBO Cinemas Permanently Ceases Operations 5 Years After Revival

By  at March 10, 2026    No comments

It's a sad day for movie fans in Malaysia. MBO Cinemas recently announced that the company is permanently ceasing operations from today (Wednesday, 11th March 2026) onwards, closing all of its remaining branches in the country.

The cinema chain shared the announcement on its social media earlier today, writing, "After many incredible years, MBO Cinemas will now be ceasing operations permanently. The show is over." In its statement, the company also thanked its customers for their patronage throughout the years, saying, "From all of us at MBO Cinemas, thank you for filling our seats, and our hearts."

The announcement follows a customer finding a notice of closure at one of the outlets. The cinema chain opened its doors in 2003 and once operated more than 20 outlets. However, the company went into liquidation in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. MBO Cinemas relaunched in 2021 under new management after Golden Screen Cinemas acquired its assets.

After its revival, MBO Cinemas operated eight outlets across Selangor, Melaka, Perak, and Johor, including a standalone cinema in Teluk Intan. Movie fans have reacted to the news, understandably devastated by the closure. Many took to social media to express gratitude towards MBO Cinemas for all the movies and memories.

As with its closure, MBO Cinemas has offered refunds for tickets purchased for dates after 11th March 2026. Customers can email the company at customercare@mbocinemas.com for refund matters.

Miley Cyrus Officially Returns As Hannah Montana In Trailer For 20th Anniversary Special

By  at March 10, 2026    No comments

Nostalgia is officially back. This month, Disney Channel's hit show "Hannah Montana" turns 20 years of age, marking two decades since a young Miley Cyrus first graced our screens as the student-slash-pop star who was living "the best of both worlds". Recently, Disney+ has dropped the first trailer for its upcoming "Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special", set to premiere on 24th March 2026. 

In the sneak peek, the special reveals Cyrus stepping back into the role that made her a global superstar. She wears the iconic blonde wig, a Hannah Montana-style outfit and visits sets re-created from the original show, saying, "I'm already getting emotional." Alex Cooper, host of the popular podcast "Call Her Daddy", tells Cyrus, "This show defined a generation."

Cyrus, dressed as Montana, can also be seen dancing with her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus – who played her father, Robby Ray Stewart, in the show – and looking at photo albums alongside her mother, Tish Cyrus. 

The special will be filmed in front of a live studio audience and will feature an exclusive, in-depth conversation with the iconic Miley Cyrus herself. She will revisit the moments, music, and memories that defined an era. Expect never-before-seen archival footage, plus the resurrection of some of the show's most iconic sets, from the Stewart family living room, and, of course, the revered, rotating closet. 

Watch the trailer below:

Heeseung Departing From ENHYPEN To Pursue Solo Career

By  at March 10, 2026    No comments

Fans are left devastated after ENHYPEN (엔하이픈) member Heeseung (희승) suddenly announced his departure from the group. The news came amid the group's ongoing promotion for their latest comeback, "Knife".

BELIFT LAB shared the news on 10th March 2026 (Tuesday) via ENHYPEN's official social media pages. In the announcement, the agency explained that Heeseung is parting ways with the group to pursue a solo career. Meanwhile, the rest of the group will continue official activities as a six-member group. BELIFT LAB further notes that the decision comes after extensive deliberation and discussion between the agency and the ENHYPEN members.

Following the announcement, Heeseung took to Weverse to share a handwritten letter to the ENGENEs (ENHYPEN fans). In his letter, the idol mentioned working on his solo projects and decided to depart from the group to follow the direction his agency suggested for his solo career. He also expressed gratitude towards the fans for their love throughout the years, asking for their continued support in the future.

The announcement and Heeseung's letter sparked heated reactions throughout the fandom, with many expressing disbelief in the news. Fans particularly debate why the ENHYPEN leader isn't allowed to pursue a solo career while still in the group, as with many other K-pop idols. Others also questioned whether Heeseung was pressured to leave ENHYPEN, given his explanation in his letter.

Many fans also debated the odd timing of the announcement, given how ENHYPEN is currently promoting their latest album. Some also pointed out that ENHYPEN would go through contract negotiations sometime later this year or 2027. The ENGENEs argued that if Heeseung had plans to leave the group, he could've done so after the group's exclusive contract ended to avoid contract termination issues.

Amid the confusion, some ENGENEs are hoping for a possibility for Heeseung's return to ENHYPEN. Nevertheless, we wish Heeseung and ENHYPEN all the best in their respective future.

Japanese Boy Group BALLISTIK BOYZ Drop Rock Ballad Single “Perfect” Ahead of April EP “BEAT”

By  at March 10, 2026    No comments

Japanese dance and vocal group BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE officially announce the pre-release of their new single "Perfect," released on 6th March, ahead of their upcoming EP "BEAT", scheduled for release in April.

Building on the success of their BALLISTIK BOYZ LIVE TOUR 2025 "IMPACT", which ran from June to November 2025, the group has officially entered the second chapter of their journey. 2026 marks the beginning of their full-scale activities, with "Perfect" setting the tone for a year of bold musical exploration and more grounded, relatable themes.

Reflecting on the new chapter, member MASAHIRO SUNADA (MASA) said, "'Perfect' is the perfect spring love song to match this season. We hope you'll wrap yourself in its comfortable sound and the warm, heart-touching world of its lyrics, and enjoy that happy atmosphere."

"Perfect" is a love song centred on the theme of "everyday romance," delicately portraying natural and authentic emotions that exist as an extension of daily life. Evoking the gentle feeling of spring, the track's warm and relatable depiction of love leaves a lingering aftertaste that softly resonates with listeners' memories.

Discussing the inspiration for the track, MASA explained, "Since 'Perfect' has a refreshing and uplifting sound, it's the kind of song to listen to on your way to school or during your commute. The lyrics are very positive, too — the message is that even the parts of ourselves we might not think are perfect can become something positive depending on how we look at them. I believe this track can lift your mood no matter the situation!"

Built around an emotional rock sound with a comfortable, mid-tempo groove, the song features lyrics written by BBY NABE, vividly painting youthful and vibrant scenes that are characteristic of BALLISTIK BOYZ. Its quiet warmth makes it a perfect companion for the spring season — a track that can touch anyone's heart.

"Perfect" follows the group's recent single "Winter Glow," a heartwarming and slightly bittersweet track that tenderly captures the cold season's romance. While "Winter Glow" looked back with a mature, nostalgic perspective, "Perfect" pivots toward the brightness of spring, showcasing BALLISTIK BOYZ's versatility and expanding musical palette.

As the group prepares for the April launch of "BEAT", they remain focused on the fans who have championed their growth. MASA shared, "The other songs on our upcoming EP, 'BEAT', have completely different styles, showing the versatile nature of BALLISTIK BOYZ. Last year, our first Asia tour gave us new global goals, and we are working hard to create more opportunities to meet you all in person. We really look forward to the day we can see you again!"

The pre-release single "Perfect" is now available on all major streaming platforms.
